Office Diez
The Diez office , based in Diez, was one of 28 offices in the Duchy of Nassau that were newly formed on July 1, 1816 as part of a reorganization of the Nassau administration. At the head of the office stood a bailiff . A Nassau-Diezer office with a much smaller scope already existed beforehand.
history
Nassau-Diez
The Diez office formed the core of the County of Diez in the HRR . The parishes of Diez, Altendiez and Freiendiez belonged to this office of the Nassau-Diez line .
Duchy of Nassau
The following 39 localities belonged to the Diez office:
- the former county of Holzappel with Dörnberg , Eppenroth , Geilnau , Holzappel , Horhausen , Isselbach , lime kiln , Langenscheid , Laurenburg , Ruppenroth , Scheid ,
- the former lordship of Schaumburg with Biebrich , Cramberg , Schaumburg and Steinsberg
- from the county of Sayn-Altenkirchen the place Giershausen
- the Kurtrierische place Balduinstein with Hausen
- the former Hessen-Darmstadt town of Charlottenberg
- the imperial knighthood place Wasenbach
- the former Nassau towns of Diez , Altendiez , Aull , Birlenbach with Fachingen , Burgschwalbach , Flacht , Freiendiez , Gückingen , Hahnstätten , Hambach , Heistenbach , Hirschberg , Holzheim , Kaltenholzhausen , Lohrheim , Netzbach , Niederneisen , Oberneisen , Schiesheim , Schönborn
Archduke Joseph Anton Johann von Austria continued to enjoy the privileges of the archduke Joseph Anton Johann of Austria in the former imperial-count areas . The office was therefore completely called Herzoglich Nassauisches Amt Diez with the noble county Holzappel and dominion Schaumburg .
In 1820 the office consisted of 39 parish districts, including two cities, 38 villages and 18 farms and mills. 2,732 families or 11,675 residents lived in the office. Of these, 10,768 were Protestant, 644 Catholic and 263 Jews.
After the March Revolution in 1848, the administration was reorganized. By law of April 4, 1849, administration and jurisdiction were separated at a lower level in Nassau. The reform came into effect on July 1, 1849. 10 district offices were established for administration , the offices continued as judicial offices (i.e. courts of first instance). The administrative tasks of the Diez office were carried out by the Limburg district office , the jurisdiction of the Diez justice office. However, the reform was reversed on October 1, 1854, the districts abolished and the previous offices restored.
Prussia
After the Prussian annexation of the duchy when the new province of Hesse-Nassau was divided into districts on February 22, 1867, the office of Nastätten became part of the Unterlahnkreis in the Wiesbaden district .
Only as part of this reorganization will administration and jurisdiction be separated. For the jurisdiction in the first instance, which was previously carried out by the office, the judicial officials in the offices were initially responsible and on September 1, 1867 the district court of Diez was formed. But even after the district was founded, the previous official structure was retained. The Royal Decree of February 22, 1867 regulated: "The administrative districts as narrower administrative districts exist in their previous limits" The former offices formed the four districts of the district. According to § 13 of the district constitution, the districts sent the former offices six representatives to the new district council . The bailiff was in charge of the local police and the district administrator.
With the administrative reform of 1885/1886 the offices were finally dissolved.
